Filibus: Restored, Rescored, Reimagined

Our partners at New Ellijay Television have embarked on a new project, to translate, reinterpret, modernize, and rescore the 1915 Italian science-fiction film Filibus.

Chapter one is out now, and they’ll be releasing new episodes weekly until they’re finished.

Watch it here:

From NETV:

We are thrilled to present Episode 1 of our brand-new restoration of Filibus: The Mysterious Air Pirate (1915). This landmark Italian silent film tells the story of the enigmatic Filibus, a gender-fluid master of disguise and sky-bound thief who sets their sights on outsmarting the detective sworn to catch them.

This release is a labor of love from New Ellijay Television. We’ve partnered with rock band Doctor Deathray to create an all-new, modernized score that bridges the gap between the silent era and today.

We’ve also carefully reinterpreted and slightly modernized the original intertitles to make the high-flying adventure more accessible for modern audiences without losing the spirit of the classic.

Continue the Adventure with Original Fiction:
The saga doesn’t end here. Dive deeper into this world with our original fiction series, The Mysterious Air Pirates!

      Highly recommend taking a look at the detailed press release Milestone put out: https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0150/7896/files/Filibus_Press_Kit_8888a58b-4bd7-4c55-b200-c5c1709a6944.pdf?v=1620316106

      It’s about 40 pages, and absolutely *full* of fascinating detail on the production and history of the film, as well as a few others (like Protea: https://vod.newellijay.tv/w/ww38Nz3KhRnGGgKGAan4sg )

      Just really great.

      I can make that happen, if you want. I used to sell it as a 13 x 19 canvas print. Reach out to @ajroach42 if you want one, and I’ll get it back online.
